The worst fears that the Chinese theme of this year’s big Met gala Monday night, “China: Through the Looking Glass,” would lead its famous and fabulous guests to cross the line by wearing stereotypical garb were thankfully not realized.

There were no chopsticks in hair, at least none that we saw.

The gala, overseen by Vogue’s Anna Wintour and held every first Monday of May, is widely viewed as the party of the year on the social calendar. Not just anyone gets invited and each year’s guest list is a good barometer of who’s in, well, vogue.

Each year has a theme. Guests are encouraged to dress accordingly. Read More »

New York Fashion Week came to a close Thursday with three iconic American brands that need only one name: Ralph, Calvin and Marc. Ralph Lauren began the day with an uber luxe glamping expedition. Calvin Klein filled the lunchtime slot with A-list celebrities Sarah Jessica Parker and Rooney Mara. Marc Jacobs closed the day, and the week, with a pink catwalk, military-inspired garb and a velvet version of Dr. Scholl’s classic slide.

A third “Sex and the City” movie has never been seriously discussed, Sarah Jessica Parker, star of the television series and movies, said Thursday night in New York.

“It’s not that I’m inhospitable (to the idea). We just haven’t felt it’s the right time to talk about it,” said the actress, who played the role of newspaper columnist Carrie Bradshaw on the HBO series for six years. The series, which won seven Emmy Awards, continues to air in syndication.

When a “Sex and the City” movie was proposed, Parker said she and Michael Patrick King, who directed both films, had talked about them as acts in a play. “There is a third story, but whether or not we tell it has never been discussed.” Read More »

I have high hopes for this episode, mainly because Sarah Jessica Parker begins her multi-episode arc as Isabelle Wright, Kurt’s mentor at Vogue.com. Not as exciting to me — or very original — is senior class presidential elections at McKinley. Blaine recruits Sam as his running mate and runs against Brittany. The episode is called “Makeover” because McKinley’s seniors are tweaking their images. But most importantly: FINN RETURNS!!!

Here we go.

Blaine decides it’s his turn to shine and immediately sings “Everybody Wants to Rule the World’ by Tears for Fears. This is the first song I may download from iTunes. Blaine seems pretty popular and is doing all these extracurriculars but it’s because he misses Kurt; the only time they really spend together is when they hate-watch “Treme” together. Ha. There’s also superheroes everywhere on stage. The answer to Blaine’s issues is to run for president! Brittany isn’t pleased. Read More »

When Bella walks down the aisle in “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1,” she joins a long line of famous Hollywood brides. Here’s a look at iconic film brides, from Scarlett O’Hara to Carrie Bradshaw.

Long before Kate Middleton wore long sleeves down the aisle, many cinematic brides wore modest lace gowns with covered-up arms. Read More »

In the new comedy, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Kate Reddy, a big-time finance exec who also has two kids and an out-of-work husband, Richard (played by Greg Kinnear).

The movie is based on the novel of the same name, written by Allison Pearson, and follows Kate’s attempt to balance her work and family lives. Christina Hendricks stars as Allison, Kate’s friend, and Olivia Munn plays Kate’s assistant. To round out the cast, Pierce Brosnan plays Jack, a flirtatious business associate.

The Weinstein Co. film is directed by Doug McGrath and the screenplay adaptation is by Aline Brosh McKenna.

The ladies of “Sex and the City” could be coming back. Sarah Jessica Parker, the star of the cable and film franchise, told Parade Magazine there’s a chance a third film could be launched. “I know what the story is,” Parker said. “It’s a small story, but I think it should be told. The question is, what’s the right time to tell it?” The previous two SATC movies brought in more than $500 million worldwide. [Parade] Read More »

Balancing life and work, that’s the basic premise behind “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” Sarah Jessica Parker’s newest rom-com. Due out in September, the film is based on the book by Allison Pearson, who also wrote the script. Parker plays a mom and Boston hedge fund manager and features Olivia Munn, Seth Meyers, Pierce Brosnan and Kelsey Grammer. Watch the trailer after the jump. Read More »

Last week on “Project Runway—With Paints!” we met fourteen artists and watched them create portraits of one another. Adorable Miles won with his morbid piece, while Amanda got the boot for turning in some ugly wallpaper. What shenanigans will unfold on tonight’s episode of “Work of Art”?

As the sun rises on our artistes, Naotells us that she’s surprised she was in the bottom last week. Miles is also troubled because he hasn’t been sleeping very well. He’s pretty sure the show is making his OCD worse. Poor Miles! He’s too cute to suffer.

Simon takes everyone on a walk to a giant warehouse that’s stuffed to the gills with abandoned electronics—TVs with antennae, ancient computer monitors, even VCRs. The artists aren’t just here to gawk at the technology graveyard, of course. Jon Kessler, a mixed media sculptor and this challenge’s guest judge, explains that they will be using these appliances as the basis of their next piece, which must be sculptural in nature.

Jaime doesn’t like this because she’s a painter. Trong, though, is excited because he believes himself to be a versatile artist. He tells us that he works with a lot of media as still images reveal those media to include things like cakes and record players.

The cast is given thirty minutes to look through the pile and choose what they want to work with. Read More »

Two weeks ago, actress and singer Patti LuPone grabbed a cell phone out of the hand of an audience member who was texting during a performance of her current play, "Shows for Days." The bold move led to an outpouring of support from fans fed up with glowing screens. Ms. LuPone gives us her five rules of theater etiquette.
